Final Rites Held On Saturday for Bro. Orlan H. Hogue
Funeral services for O. H. Hogue, popular minister of the Huntingdon Church of Christ who died at the Baptist Hospital in Memphis at 10 a. m. last Thursday morning due to a cerebral hemorrhage, were held Saturday morning at the Medina Church of Christ. Loyce Pearce officiated and burial was in the Milan cemetery.
Hogue suffered the hemorrhage Wednesday afternoon of last week in a fall at the post office. He was rushed to the Memphis hospital that afternoon and underwent surgery. His body was returned to Huntingdon that day and lay in state at his church from Thursday evening until noon on Friday when it was carried to his former home in Medina to await burial.
Bro. Hogue, 35, was born in Dickson County. He was graduated from Freed-Hardeman College at Henderson and was a veteran of World War II. Before coming to Huntingdon in January, 1955, he served six years as minister of the Medina Church of Christ. Bro. Hogue possessed a dynamic and magnetic personality both in the pulpit and outside the church. His pleasant disposition and likeable personality, coupled with his great love for and interest in all men will be missed by his many friends everywhere.

A close friend of his has penned the following: “His zeal and enthusiasm seemingly knew no bounds, and his energy was almost inexhaustible. No hour was ever too late, no distance too far, no sacrifice too great, no task too difficult, when God's work called him. He cheerfully gave himself wholly to the work he loved without regard for himself.”
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bernice Fly Hogue; two sons, Jimmy Hogue and Phillip Hogue; a daughter, Janice Hogue, all of Huntingdon; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Charles Hogue of Medina; two brothers, Daniel Hogue and Walter Hogue of Detroit, Mich; and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Jourdan of South Carolina and Mrs. Mabel Polesek of California.
